Reasons My Kid is Crying author Greg Pembroke is the featured guest in this episode is all about meltdowns – something all parents have to deal with, and usually when it’s least convenient.

I ask Greg how pictures of his children went worldwide in a week, leading to an appearance on Good Morning America and a book deal. We’ll find out what toddler meltdown took place on opposite sides of the planet at the exact same time, and Greg will share what happened when one of his toddler’s famous meltdowns was recognized at Disney World.

My baby has so many meltdowns for no reason it feels like my baby is just playing a terrible joke on me. My baby can’t be as seriously upset as she acts during these meltdowns, can she?

What is the threshold of disaster for Sam from Quantum Leap to materialize and handle this meltdown for me?

When my 3 year old has a meltdown in public, I don’t want to give into her demands. But I just have to make the meltdown stop, so I cave before it can get worse and bother any more people. Is that a smart idea?

I don’t think there’s anything I can do to stop my toddler from having meltdowns every day. It makes me want to give up, which makes me wonder what a world ruled by toddlers who always got what they wanted would look like. What do you think?

Comedian Nate Bargatze is the featured guest in this episode about birth plans. I ask Nate why he and his wife’s birth plan included traveling from their New York home to Tennessee, learn who won the bet about whether Nate would cut his baby’s umbilical cord and find out why parenthood has him walking into doors.

Best-selling musician Laurie Berkner, who you’ve probably seen on Nick Jr. singing and playing guitar, is the featued guest in this episode. I’ll ask her what makes a great children’s song. We’ll also talk about how becoming a mother influenced her songwriting and how she keeps the attention of an audience full of excited children for an entire show.

In this first ever episode, I ask Michele Lepe, who you probably know as Nina from the Good Night Show on Sprout, if she is able to put her own kids to sleep as calmly as she puts America’s kids to sleep each night on TV. We’ll learn how carrots became part of her kids’ bedtime routine and find out what happened when she tried to change her baby’s first blowout diaper on her boss’ desk.
